TSMC plans to increase prices for advanced-node wafers, including the 2nm process, by 5% to 10% starting from 2026 to address cost pressures. This move may prompt major clients such as NVIDIA and Apple to evaluate alternative foundry partners like Samsung. TSMC's 2nm process is regarded as an industry benchmark, but prices are rising amid inflation and increasing material costs. Nevertheless, TSMC continues to dominate the market with its technological and capacity advantages.
